In my experience, a vocal minority of Tailwind CSS fans tend to "yuck people's yums", and don't accept the fact that not everyone has to like, or use Tailwind over other styling options.

There's a lot of shaming that goes on whenever someone comes out and says they don't like Tailwind, or that they prefer to use more traditional CSS/SCSS/Frameworks. If you tweet about CSS right now chances are there would be at least 1 or 2 tailwind "reply guys" in the comments defending Tailwind to a fault, telling you that you're wrong for using something besides tailwind, etc, etc. Not every tool works for everyone, and that should be okay.

Obviously, not everyone that uses Tailwind CSS is like this (I use Tailwind CSS in a number of production sites, and it works great for the projects where I'm using it! ) but this overall toxicity is a trend that's become so apparent that it's hard to ignore.

(edit: adding "a vocal minority" to the first paragraph)
